Security was so lax at Vermont Yankee that in August 2001, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staged a drill in which three mock terrorists gained access to the plant. The agency gave Vermont Yankee the worst security rating among the nation's 103 reactors.
That's just great.

As many have said before, the hindsight from the terrorist attacks of September 11th is 20-20 and no was prepared for the events of that terrible day. In retrospect, every state in the country could have been safer and Governor Dean took swift and bold action to respond to make Vermonters safer.
Sorry, but this just isn't good enough. Especially coming from someone attacking Bush's national security policy.
Can't wait to hear from the fanboys why this a distortion of the record/doesn't matter...
